    Imran calling rap and techno crap and then declaring you like country...oh dear




    Country is the best stuff out there, by far. It's guitars and fiddles and none of that synthesizer crap.

      new country sucks. It has none of that. It is all prefabed, prewritten music with a new singer thrown in to sound different. . It just sounds too generic. They just rearrange the words and use different singers to sound different.

      give me johnny cash any day .

        How hard can it be to rhyme? Go read those lyrics I posted. Tell me you can do that with ease.


        thanks

          Rhyming is overrated, it's mainly used with children.

          It can add nicely to a song if used effectively. It seems like the majority of rap revolves around rhyming words (wow, what a concept!) with some kind of obnoxious or often sampled beat.

            thanks

            I didn't say that I could, I'm saying rhyming to a beat isn't music.

            Writing the rhyme is different than rhyming to music.

            Of course, I can't do either. But I would be better at rapping

              Rap is music, people. It may not be what you like (it's not what I like), but denying it a status as music is rather condescending and, frankly, elitist.

              All you need is a beat for music, as we certainly consider African drum performance to be music. And rap incorporates a lot of musical elements beyound beat, such as tempo changes, syncopation, etc.

              Considering the limits to which music was stretched during the 20th century by composers such as John Cage and Phillip Glass, rap easily falls within the bounds of modern musical definition.

                What, and rap ISN'T?!!?!

                Actually, you hit the nail on the head in one respect: pretentious music is garbage, exactly because it is pretentious. In all fairness, most genres have some pretentious exponents. Top of the list is anything purely commercial, particularly pop, but r'n'b and rap are very guilty of it as well. Some rock, but Nu Metal is particularly pretentious. Of course, good songs are good regardless of genre, but rap and techno are almost totally devoid of good music. As correct as Boris might be, i always thought of music as having to contain more than one note, which rules out most rap

                I used to hate rap most of all, but the doof-doof music that plays loudly from lebanese cars in Sydney grasps the title firmly with both hands. Devoid of variety and completely unimaginative, it sucks pus!!

                Oh, and anything from any Eurovision Song Contest too 100% pretentious

                  It's absolutely terrible.

                  It's mostly for elitist punks like you who love feeling all high and mighty off their superior tastes.

                    On top of which, you don't even know what progressive house is. Does the fact that you have your own tastes make you an elitist punk as well?
                    I don't know what progressive house is specifically, but I do know I hate techno, dance, and house music as a whole since it seems so artificial and fake.

                    Literally everyone I know that likes it likes it because it's not popular though. They enjoy feeling cool and elite by talking about DJs no one knows or cares about, telling people it's the ultimate in music, etc. Everyone else listens to it and goes 'wtf?'.

                    • If your friends listen to it because it gives them an underground label, you need new friends.

                      This from an elitist punk!

                        Yet another reason to stick to punk, there's no genra with as much self-mockery as punk

                        Can't believe nobody's seconded my condemnation of zaideco (hellish new orleans psuedo-blue grass), I only hope that your ears have been spared its horror....

                          Thanks Zylka, but I don't consider you a friend.

                                As far as I know John Cage, for him it's simply "everything you declare to be music is music". I think this is utterly stupid, because it makes the word meaningless.
                                Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?
